Chapter 70

Tang Ba carried the unconscious Tang Yan far away from the Wasteland Cemetery, finding a relatively secluded place to hide.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Tang Yan finally regained consciousness. The tearing of his tendons and muscles caused by the blind breakthrough had healed on their own, and his physical injuries had been completely restored by the powerful regenerative abilities of the 'Fog Baby.' However, after such a ordeal, his body was somewhat weak.

"Brother Ba? Why are you guys here?" Tang Yan looked at Tang Ba and the other two with confusion.

"Calling Tang Qiong 'Uncle' and then calling me 'Brother'?" Tang Ba rolled his eyes and casually threw a roasted lamb leg over.

Tang Yan tore into it without hesitation, speaking indistinctly, "What's the situation at the Wasteland Cemetery? What happened while I was unconscious?"

"What else? Some died, some were crippled. We were played like fools." Tang Ba felt a sense of frustration as he recalled the events, almost losing his life in the chaos.

"Seven statues sealed seven killing swords..." Tang Hao leaned against an ancient tree, explaining the events while giving Tang Yan a half-smile, half-sneer.

They had really misjudged him! This playboy young master was hiding so many secrets! Recalling the events at the Wasteland Cemetery, they owed their survival partly to him!

"Second Young Master, can I ask a question?" Tang Ba's fingers flicked, and seven green liquid droplets gently slid in his hand. These were found beside Tang Yan when they rescued him.

"Where did you get them?" Tang Yan looked at the seven Spirit Source Liquids, his brows furrowed.

"You should ask yourself." Tang Hao shook the jade bottle in his hand, pouring out over fifty Spirit Source Liquids of various sizes, the smallest as small as a grain of rice, the largest as big as a peanut.

Ailinda leaned beside Tang Yan and whispered, "They were taken from me while I was unconscious."

Tang Qing smiled warmly, "Second Young Master, can we talk?"

"What do you want to know?"

"The green flames on your body." Tang Ba originally thought the green color of Tang Yan's flames was due to a bloodline mutation, but now he realized he was completely wrong!

"Confidential." Tang Yan raised an eyebrow and answered succinctly.

Tang Ba was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "What about the blood-colored mist you emit?"

"Private."

"What about the war saber beside you?"

Tang Yan only then noticed the changes in the ancient war saber. It no longer resembled a rock but had transformed into a completely black true war saber, with fine blood-colored patterns on its surface. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if there was blood flowing inside, very mysterious.

Gripping the hilt tightly, he could feel a faint life force and surging battle intent!

The ancient war saber emitted a heavy and ancient aura, still weighing a hundred pounds, but strangely, it had no blade.

"Second Young Master?" Tang Ba asked again.

"Heaven's favor. I bought it for fifty gold coins, and got a puppy for free." Tang Yan replied casually.

Tang Ba had many questions, but seeing Tang Yan's attitude, he clearly didn't intend to reveal anything. He said helplessly, "Second Young Master, rest well. We need to return to the family as soon as possible."

"If you don't mind, I want to cross the Illusion Forest and take a detour back to Giant Elephant City."

"Why? The disaster at the Wasteland Cemetery has affected the Illusion Forest, making it very chaotic recently."

"The more chaotic, the better for training. I want to solidify my Martial Ancestor realm before returning to Giant Elephant City."

"Cross the Illusion Forest? Are you sure?" The three looked at Tang Yan as if he were a monster. The Illusion Forest was filled with powerful beasts and complex mazes, even King-level experts dared not easily attempt it!

"Sure!" Tang Yan could feel his body was in a terrible state, not feeling the joy of reaching the Martial Ancestor realm, but rather a sense of instability. The energy in his meridians was like a surging river, powerful but difficult to control, so he urgently needed to stabilize it. The changes in the ancient war saber, the advancement of the Undying Heaven Art, and the companion martial skill 'Body Destruction Technique' all needed thorough study.

Having lived a wandering life, Tang Yan enjoyed extreme training to gain insights. The Illusion Forest was his top choice.

Du Yang and Ailinda had also improved rapidly recently, needing tough training to solidify their gains.

Tang Yan didn't want himself or those around him to become slaves to Spirit Source Liquids, blindly increasing their strength and losing themselves.

Tang Hao and the others wanted to stay, but Tang Yan firmly refused. He only trusted a few people and didn't want to reveal his deepest secrets.

Considering the impact of the Wasteland Cemetery incident on the entire Southern Border region, Tang Ba was worried about unexpected events at home and didn't insist. After safely sending them into the Illusion Forest, he left first.

Both sides agreed that they had never met!

Tang Yan didn't care about the Seven Killing Swords or the larger events. His main focus was on solidifying and improving his own strength. After bidding farewell to Tang Ba, the three plunged into the vast Illusion Forest, starting a new training journey.

Tang Yan's goal was to solidify his realm and improve his strength. If time allowed, he would temporarily not delve into 'Shadow Wing Spread' and 'Lava Art,' focusing on 'Golden Elephant Art' to enhance his body's defensive capabilities, laying the foundation for future beast consumption.

Du Yang's goal was to reach the First Rank Martial Ancestor and perfect the Rock Forest Art! He didn't pursue the mixed martial skills like Tang Yan, deciding to focus on 'Rock Techniques' and 'Petrification.' The mutated petrification spirit vein gave him a foundation to research, and the versatility of the Rock Forest Art gave him ample room for 'imagination.'

Ailinda's goal was simple: to reach the Third Rank Martial Ancestor, a goal she had once expected to achieve within ten years!!

Returning to the Illusion Forest, they were no longer the weaklings of the past, no longer just fugitives. With their combat strength and默契配合, they dared to challenge even peak Fourth Rank beasts, and while Fifth Rank beasts were beyond their reach, they might still escape.

Wandering through the dense and chaotic mountains and forests, the three discarded all distractions, fully immersing themselves in their training. They meditated, challenged individually, and sometimes worked together, not rushing to advance but moving based on their instincts, deliberately seeking dangerous environments for training.

Continuously pondering, continuously breaking through, continuously experiencing extreme challenges, and continuously facing life and death struggles.

The dangers of the Illusion Forest did not diminish with their increased strength; instead, they became more chaotic due to the recent Wasteland Cemetery incident. Many powerful beasts were frequently
